The Parliament Reform Law officially took effect today after being announced by President Lai Ching-Te. Scholars, including Yang Chih-chieh from Yunlin University of Science and Technology, criticize the unprecedented move of applying for a constitutional interpretation after a reconsideration failure, especially if it is initiated by the Executive Yuan. President Lai immediately filed for a constitutional interpretation after the law came into effect, and the Control Yuan and DPP caucus also followed suit in requesting interpretations and temporary dispositions. The Executive Yuan is expected to make its submission after its meeting on the 27th. Yang points out that, among the four constitutional branches, only legislators can currently seek constitutional judgments, and initiating an interpretation after a reconsideration failure, particularly by the Executive Yuan, may pose constitutional issues.

The Reserve Bank of Australia stated that its monetary policy is restrictive and causing financial distress for households due to the current cash rate. Assistant Governor Christopher Kent mentioned that the high interest rates of 4.35% are leading to slower demand growth and lower inflation, with mortgage payments reaching 10% of disposable income. Despite a significant increase of 425 basis points since May 2022, the RBA has kept rates steady due to inflation well above the target band of 2-3%. The central bank remains cautious about further rate hikes and is closely monitoring inflation risks.

Dr. Li Sih-xian mentioned that slow-digesting starches like whole wheat bread help stabilize blood sugar levels by avoiding excessive insulin secretion, preventing insulin resistance, and maintaining a longer feeling of fullness, aiding in weight management and overall health. Unlike fast-digesting starches, slow-digesting ones release glucose into the blood gradually, reducing the strain on the pancreas and lowering the risk of metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and other health issues. Choosing slow-digesting starches over fast-digesting ones is crucial for maintaining health.

Taiwan's hot and humid summer weather poses a risk of 'summer heatstroke during the rainy season,' with experts warning of high dehydration risks. While afternoon thunderstorms in summer help cool down temperatures, Japanese experts emphasize the need to stay hydrated, even indoors with air conditioning.
